how many days on cruise ship from honolulu to San Francisco? sounds like one way it's 5 to 10 days depending upon weather and itinerary of ship

In case we cannot get a flight beccause of Shutdown we are considering taking a cruise ship back to mainland if we have to. 

My father took a steamship from Tahiti to Honolulu Hawaii around 1941 after sailing to Tahiti on a chartered Yacht in 1939 with his first wife and brother. My father was 24 and his brother I think 22 and his wife I think 21 in 1939. But, when the war in the pacific started heating up he and his brother took a steam ship and returned to Seattle to work with his brother and his wife was a reporter for the main newspaper in Honolulu so she saw the Pearl harbor attack and was evacuated back to Seattle, Washington by Ship. 

begin quotes:

A one-way cruise from Honolulu to San Francisco does not have a fixed duration, but a standard 16-day roundtrip cruise from San Francisco to Hawaii involves about five days at sea each way
. A one-way crossing from Honolulu to San Francisco could take 10-14 days, with specific cruise line itineraries varying. 
  • Roundtrip cruises: A 15- or 16-day roundtrip cruise from San Francisco typically includes about 5 days at sea to get to Hawaii and 5 days at sea to return, with a variable number of days visiting different islands.
  • One-way cruises: A one-way trip would be shorter than a roundtrip, but the exact duration depends on the specific itinerary and conditions.
  • Cargo ships: Cargo ships can take 5 to 14 days for the crossing, depending on the vessel and route.
